"This painting was practically constructed right outside my window. It's a painting of the desert where I live. The prickly-pear cactus, bunch grass and sand take on the long shadows of the early morning or evening - a very active time of the day for most desert animals. The Black-tailed Jack rabbits and Red-tailed hawks are common sights."

This is a painting of intense drama. By not showing the hawk but only it's shadow flowing over the ground and the running rabbit only heightens the suspense.
